55 dollars an hour is how much a year?

››55 dollars per hour working 2,000 hours

As a simple baseline calculation, let's say you take 2 weeks
off each year as unpaid vacation time. Then you would be working
50 weeks of the year, and if you work a typical 40 hours a week,
you have a total of 2,000 hours of work each year. In this case,
you can quickly compute the annual salary by multiplying the
hourly wage by 2000. Your hourly pay of 55 dollars is then
equivalent to an average annual income of
$110,000 per year.

››What if you get 2 weeks of paid vacation,
or you take no vacation time?

Now let's consider the case where you get paid 55 dollars an hour,
but you get an additional 2 weeks of paid vacation. You get the same
result if you work all year with no vacation time. In the previous case,
we assumed 2 weeks of unpaid vacation, so your total year consisted of
50 weeks. But if you get paid for 2 extra weeks of vacation (at your
regular hourly rate), or you actually work for those 2 extra weeks,
then your total year now consists of 52 weeks. Assuming 40 hours
a week, that equals 2,080 hours in a year. Your hourly wage
of 55 dollars would end up being about
$114,400 per year in salary.

››What's the total number
of working days in 2018?

If you wanted to be even more accurate, you can count the
exact number of working days this year. 2018 starts on
a Monday (January 1, 2018) and ends on
a Monday (December 31, 2018). It has a total
of 365 days in the year including both weekdays and
weekends. There are 104 weekend days (counting every
Saturday and Sunday in the year), and 261 weekdays
(Monday through Friday). So if you worked a normal 8 hour day
on every weekday, and didn't work any overtime on the weekends,
you would have worked a total of 2,088 hours
over the 2018 year. You can then convert
your hourly pay to a yearly salary of roughly
$114,840 per year.

Remember that most companies give employees time off for various
holidays, so that should really be included in the calculation.
If your company decided to switch you from hourly pay to salary,
you might get paid $114,840 per year, but you wouldn't
actually have to work 2,088 hours
since some of those days would be holidays. So your yearly income
wouldn't necessarily change, but the actual number of hours you
work over the year might be slightly less.

››How much do I make each day?

If you're working a regular 8-hour day, then you can simply
take your hourly wage and multiply it by 8 to get your daily
rate. So making 55 dollars per hour is equivalent to making
$440 per day.

››What about each week?

Assuming you work 40 hours a week, you would make
$2,200 per week.

››How much money would I make in a month?

If you look at an average month as 4 weeks, then you can
estimate the average monthly earnings from 55 dollars per hour to be
$8,800 per month.
Of course, some months are longer than others, so this is
just a rough average. Another way to estimate the amount you
make each month is to divide the annual salary by 12 months.
For example, if you calculate the yearly total to be $114,840 per
year, then your monthly average would be
$9,570 per month.
